the Barnby Choir 80th Anniversary celebrations

Welcome

The Barnby Choir, based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, has approximately 60 members of all ages and from all walks of life. We share a love of choral music and a desire to produce exciting performances to a high standard. Our repertoire includes major sacred and secular choral works as well as more unusual music, both traditional and modern.

We meet for rehearsals on Tuesday evenings from September to May, and put on three or four concerts a year, frequently with professional soloists and instrumentalists. Rehearsals are held from 8-9.45pm at
Wilmslow Methodist Church, Kings Close, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AR

We are always pleased to receive applications from prospective members in all sections of the choir (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), and we are currently keen to expand our numbers for what promises to be an enjoyable year both musically and socially.

We offer FREE MEMBERSHIP to students and reduced fees are available for the under-25s. Any singers wishing to join us will be most welcome at rehearsal any Tuesday evening. If you are interested in joining us, or further information please contact the Choir Secretary on 0161 485 1659, or email us using the form below.

Latest news

 

Our 22 March performance of Handel’s Messiah as orchestrated by Mozart was received with tremendous enthusiasm by a full house at Wilmslow URC, and we received many appreciative comments afterwards:
“Glorious! So optimistic. Made me really feel well and positive. And the trumpet player was fabulous!”
“Brilliant. I could have been sitting in the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden!”
“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed rehearsals and the concert last night. Visitors remarked on how Lloyd has developed our sound.”
“We sat in the balcony, and from there the sound was
big, rich and full.”
Thanks to our wonderful orchestra Musica Nova, to our continuo player Mackenzie, our soloists Anna-Clare Monk, Rhiain Taylor, Cameron Mitchell and Matthew Nuttall, and to all those who came out to support us!
Rehearsals are now in full swing for our concert of Elgar and Vaughan Williams on Sunday 17 May. Full details here.
